Negrette is a lesser-known grape variety that deserves a place in your glass. Often associated with the south of France, particularly the areas around Bordeaux, Negrette has a reputation for producing wines with a charming, fruit-forward character and a gentle, warming finish. It’s a grape that can feel both easygoing and interesting, making it a lovely choice if you enjoy reds that aren’t overly heavy.

In the glass, Negrette wines typically lean towards dark fruit flavours such as plum and black cherry, with hints of spice and sometimes a soft floral edge. Depending on how it’s made, you may also notice a subtle earthiness or a rounded texture that keeps the palate balanced. It’s particularly handy for those who like their wine to feel food-friendly rather than fussy.

If you’re exploring the Grapes range, Negrette is a great example of why different varieties matter. Each one brings its own rhythm to the wine: the grape, the climate, and the winemaking choices all shape what you taste. Give Negrette a try and you may discover your new go-to for casual evenings and shared meals.
